Constraint Analysis for Aircraft Design

Khushin Lakhara presents the Constraint Analysis for Aircraft Design Live Task in MATLAB^® and shows how it helps aircraft/UAV designers in their conceptual aircraft design journey. You can download this Live Task from File Exchange: Constrain Analysis Live Task for Aircraft Design.

Begin with a discussion on the importance of converting multiple design requirements into a few meaningful numbers during the conceptual design phase and how constraint analysis assists in this process. Next, explore the feasible design space provided by constraint analysis and how the choice of solution points influences the vehicle dimensions and performance.

There is also a software demonstration in MATLAB showcasing various Live Task features, including:

• Graphical and numerical solutions
• Live Task conversion into the code for analysis customization
• Initial wing sizing and power plant specification calculations
